The UK 100 is called to open -70 points this morning at 7442. The UK 100 looks set to open lower this morning ahead of a busy day of corporate news, UK public sector borrowing data and preliminary PMI surveys for major economies. Overnight, US markets finished higher, with the Dow Jones rising up almost 2%, the S&P 500 gaining 1.9% and the Nasdaq Composite rising 1.6%, before futures dived into the red after Snapchat owner Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP)slashed profit and revenue forecasts after Wall Street closed. Most Asian markets were in the red this morning, however, led by the Hang Seng and Shanghai indices, down 1.6% and 1.2%. This comes after US President Joe Biden added to geopolitical tensions yesterday by saying that the US would intervene to defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion, though he was asked a direct question about this and it is a statement he has made before.

They said the strong market positions, close customer relationships and intense focus on efficiencies mean that they look to the future with optimism, and expect to deliver a full year out-turn in line with market expectations
